Adam Driver Inquires About NASA's Plan to Prevent World-Ending Asteroids.

Actor Adam Driver asked NASA about its plan to save Earth from an incoming asteroid. NASA is currently tracking down asteroids larger than 140 meters wide, which could cause damage if they hit Earth. The agency has the ability to intervene and push such an asteroid away from our planet. NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) successfully altered an asteroid's orbit by slamming a spacecraft into it. Other options include shooting the asteroid with lasers or launching a nuclear bomb at it. NASA's approach to any asteroid would depend on its size and composition.
